Central hall range of one storey and attic, 2-window range, has mid C19 outshut
to front with flat stone arches over mid C19 double doors and C20 three-light
casements: similar casements in gabled dormers. Right side wall has late C15
two-light round-headed window and cross window, and mid C17 one-bay extension.
Left side wall has hood moulds over mid C17 chamfered stone-mullioned windows of
2-, 3- and 4-lights, mid C17 stone lintel with Vitruvian scroll over blocked
door: rear of left wing, built c.1850, has reset C15 pointed moulded doorway and
lateral stack. Rear wall has sashes. Interior: C13 chamber block to right has
blocked oriel opening to rear and blocked first-floor solar doorway to right;
C13 coupled-rafter roof of very slight scantling with C13 common rafters of
poles; early C18 dog-leg with winders staircase with turned balusters; ground
floor room has C17 panelling from Magdalen College installed here c.1850. Hall
range: late C15 two-light hollow-chamfered stone-mullioned and round-headed
window in front wall; screens passage to right. 5-bay hall roof has 2 queen-post
trusses to right and one to left, and unusual scissor trusses to centre of
former open hall; roof has trenched through-purlins and windbraces. Ceiling
inserted in C17: mid C19 plasterwork on ground floor; mid C17 panelled cupboards
on first floor; room to left, remodelled c.1661, has timber-framed partition
walls and moulded stone fireplace with black and white chequer-work to inner
walls and faded painted panels to overmantle. Parlour range to left: two late
C15 trusses to front with cusped pinnacles and struts; other features are
c.1661, namely stop-chamfered beams with heart-shaped stops on ground floor,
open fireplace with stop-chamfered bressumer on ground floor and moulded stone
fireplace on first floor. Subsidiary features: L-shaped C18 limestone rubble
wall extends approximately 20 metres to right. History: the very rare and
complete C13 roof is of extremely small timbers which may reflect lost
vernacular traditions of non-permanent building with poles.
